Something interesting with costumes
What if a sprite has some costumes, and there is a costume named 1? It's not possible now since Scratch would rename it to "11" or something, but what do you think would happen if I said for a sprite to go to costume 1? Would it go to costume #1 or the costume named 1?
For those of you wondering, the "change to costume/background []" block accepts a number and word.

Re: Something interesting with costumes
I will check the code. It depends on which it would try first.
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

It would go to costume 1, I believe.
(Atleast that is my guess
Can you be more specific?

Re: Something interesting with costumes
If you tell a sprite to set its costume to a variable set to "1" it goes to the first costume.
However, if you have eleven costumes, one of which is called "11," and tell it to set the costume to a variable set to "11" it goes to the costume labeled "11" instead of the eleventh costume.
So basically if you tell it to go to a number, if that number is a label it will go to the labeled costume, but if that number is not a label it will instead go to the numbered costume.
Final Verdict: Name of costume has priority over number of costume.
Does that answer your question?

Oh, I see. Sorry, I was tired and sort of skimmed that, and didn't catch that part.
